Overview

MOL Group shares its journey from siloed digital models to a fully integrated Digital Twin ecosystem, transforming refinery operations with clarity, trust, and real business impact.

Key highlights:

• Integrated Digital Twin: Discover how cyber-physical integration enables real-time data collection, analysis, and visualisation, supporting both open-and closed-loop decision-making
• Beyond Siloed Models: Learn why moving from fragmented simulation, energy, and quality models to a unified Digital Twin accelerates responsiveness and profitability
• Transparency and Trust: Explore how clear model structures, robust validation, and visual explainability build user confidence and operational safety
• Flexible Applications: See real-world use cases, including optimisation, and interactive “what-if” analysis—empowering operators and technologists alike
• Continuous Improvement: Understand the importance of ongoing model calibration, data validation, and dynamic testing to ensure accuracy as systems evolve

Experience how MOL Group’s Digital Twin framework connects technology, people, and knowledge, enabling transparent, trusted decision support for the future of refinery operations.
